We consider the two-dimensional water wave problem in the case where the free interface of the fluid meets a vertical wall at a possibly non-right angle; and where the free interface can be non-$C^1$ with angled crests. We assume that the…

We consider a model of axisymmetric flows for a free boundary vortex embedded in a statically stable fluid at rest. We identify the boundary of the vortex by solving a variational problem. Then, we reduce the analysis of the dynamics of the…

We consider the spreading of a thin two-dimensional droplet on a solid substrate. We use a model for viscous fluids where the evolution is governed by Darcy's Law. At the triple point where air and liquid meet the solid substrate, the…
